Myspace or theirspace?

Myspace is a wonderful little invention that allows everyone to express themselves freely on the web. I had never even thought of getting one for myself because I would much rather go out and meet people up front and learn what they are like first hand rather than reading about the way they think they are. When people write about themselves in my space, they almost always go extremely over the top in trying to make themselves sound fun and interesting to others. Therefore myspace isn't really mine, it is theirs.
These profiles are just one more place where gender and society control us. Women set up their spaces one way and Men do it in another. Women's profiles, for the most part, are highly decorated with background pictures and pink colored text boxes, contain a huge amount of pictures and videos displaying everything they do, self-flattering comments posted on their pictures and a huge number of posts. Men's profiles, on the other hand, are extremely "un-groomed". The 4 men's profiles I looked at were in the standard white background with the standard text boxes, little or no pictures and little or no comments as well. This really says a lot about how society splits us up in genders.
I also found the way these profiles are set up to be extremely displeasing. People cram all sorts of useless little details about themselves in a low quality, poor resolution html webpage with a monotonous, pixilated background. Scrolling up and down most of the girl’s pages really made me dizzy. Aesthetics are definitely something that myspace does not have.
